I haven't had much of a chance to do much painting over the past couple of days and instead of painting tonight i've just got home from a 12 hr shift at work so no painting tonight. I've almost finished the skin just needs the light highlight then eyes, Also I've done the base coat of black red and dark green, I've also done the first coat on most of the horses .

Ok so whats next on the painting table, well I've decided to start Dr Reg's 7yw Austrians they are 28mm Front rank figures and very nice figures i must add with very good detail which makes any painters life a lot easier.

So i based the Dragoons and command figures last night hoping to undercoat them tonight so i could start painting tomorrow but my wife wanted to go shopping for furniture Ching ching there goes the dollars, and then out to the movies which i enjoyed but the figures will now have to wait till tomorrow for there undercoat. My plan is to have the dragoons finished by the end of the week we will see if everything goes to plan. I will try to do a stage by stage how i paint these fellows and post it later on. If you have any questions let me know i'm always willing to help those that want to improve their skill base.

I did these guys tonight, I had already started the horses earlier in the week but they still need quite a bit of work. And that finishes this commission will check the figures over tomorrow and pack them ready to send

I finished these guys late last night all they need now is a final check over before they are packed to make sure i haven't missed anything. Tonight I'm hoping to complete the Cav so i can post before the weekend.

Even though the pictures don't really show it the Linen has a three shade layering to it

doing these stars is not as easy as it looks in these shields i left a small amount of darker shade behind the middle, but think that i will make it all white, i've done a base coat of mid stone on top of the brass so the white comes out better you vcan see the edge of this colour in the picture but you can 't see it with the natural eye. The one on the left is a bit better than the one on the right.

its a shame the pictures don't show how nice the linen has come out i'm really pleased with

So far I've done the first coat of skin, brass with wash over top and first coat of linen and first circle on sheild, so the project is progressing well, still they need a lot of work yet.

I've also doe the first coat of skin on the cav figures and two coats of three on 3 brown and 3 grey cav also first coats on 4 other brown horses these will be different colour brown than the first four i'm doing 2 black and 1 white horse as well. I think that i am on course to finish this commission by late next week
